Eileen was born on October 29, 1921 in Upper Sandusky to John and Florence (Tschanen) Young. She married Joe W. Baker on August 18, 1939 and he passed away on April 15, 1974.

Eileen is survived by her loving children; Bonnie (Larry) Deisler of Galion, Carol (Vaughn) Reed on Upper Sandusky, Tom (Melissa) Baker of Forest and Gary (Edie) Baker of Marion. 9 grandchildren, Sonie Miller, Jon Miller, Kelly (Paul) Giacalone, Lisa Hancock, Gina Baker, Bia (Scott) Evans, Brian Baker, Eric (Carolina) Baker and Travis Baker, along with 15 great grandchildren and 9 great great grandchildren.

She was preceded in death by her 3 brothers, Myron Young, Gerald Young, Don Young and 2 sisters Nola Morris and Ruby Barth.

Eileen retired from Westinghouse in Upper Sandusky after working there for 26 years. Before that she had worked for RCA in Findlay for 10 years.

She was a long time member of the St. Paul's Lutheran Church in Upper Sandusky and a former member of the VFW Post #2842 Ladies Auxiliary in Upper Sandusky.

Eileen enjoyed going out with family and friends and also playing games where her competitive nature came out, whether it was Euchre or 500 Rum where she loved to compete and defeat her grandchildren and she was a fiend at Wahoo as her dear friends and sister in laws Alice (Don) Young and Pat (Gerald) Young will attest and
during the quieter times she enjoyed doing crossword puzzles.

A great testimony of Eileen's life was that her family was everything to her and in turn, she was everything to them. She will be dearly missed.
